Honda Bay Adventure Puerto Princesa, Palawan


A whole day activity, Honda Bay Adventure in Puerto Princesa, Palawan is among the must-see places or things-to-do when you visit this city. Three islands are covered in this tour. Though I find them ordinary, the number of fishes and corals will not give you much disappointment. As always, they’re lovely.






First Stop: Cowrie.

Our Tour Guide, together with the other boatmen, was kind and funny and very accommodating. No OP moment for me. It’s like we also own the entire island. It’s a nice place to swim. Picture lovers will definitely love this place. Boatmen (with hidden talent in photography) knew a lot of camera tricks! It was them who encouraged me to swim and try all those "photo booths."







Enjoy the cool, salty sea water.






Second Stop: Starfish Island

We stayed here from 10am up to 1pm. Summer’s over, but the sun was still super hot – but not on the scorching level. This island doesn’t offer a very convenient short trip from the cottage area to the swimming area. Wearing flops or a pair of aqua shoes is a must in this island.



Starfish Island has a lot of fishes and nice corals, plus of course lots of starfish. Fish feeding is allowed here.

Another photo booth.


They sell Fresh Buko for those who are thirsty. Price: Php 30.









Third Stop: Luli Island
Luli means lulubog (sink) lilitaw (resurfacing/reappearing). Pros of this island: finer sand, safe for your feet, has diving board. Cons: we were asked to leave our things on the boat. Make sure you maximize your swimming time here, even if the sun’s a bit hot. Just get back to your boat once done. Make sure you bring everything - camera, plastic bag or any waterproof bag, fins, vest, etc before heading to the swimming area, unless you like to have another not-so convenient two way trip.






You can leave your stuff here- Mr. Lifeguard will take good care of them.




















Diving Area.















Travel time from the city (airport, in my case) is just less than 20 mins. I was already at Natua's Cabin before 5PM.
